Hello Pradeep,

In Silverlight there are no DataTable or DataSet! You can check this demo for more info about how to achieve your goal:

Hi Vlad,
           Thanks for your quick response.I visited the link which you sent,I am little bit confused.Can you send me the sample code for retrieve the data from datbase using webservice or any other method(VB.net is preferable).

Hi Pradeep,

VB code can be found in this example - you can check the attached screenshot.
In this particular case the grid will retrieve data using ADO.NET DataService which is the easiest way in Silverlight 2. In Silverlight 3 you can use RIA services - more info here:
